De la commission européenne au « plombier polonais ». Une analyse multiniveau de l’encadrement du travail détaché.

The EnTraiDe project focuses on a widespread phenomenon, at the centre of current public debates on the European Union (EU) "crisis": the posting of workers, to which West European firms resort on a massive scale since the enlargement of the EU to Central and East European countries. This rise in the application of the EU’s fundamental freedoms - free movement of labour and services - paradoxically comes with a strengthening of Community standards and control policies in the countries importing posted workers, such as Belgium and France, despite the major exporting countries’ (such as Poland) governments’ opposition. These strengthened control policies reflect combined transformations in the European construction, in welfare states and in the regulation of labor markets. The project is based on a transversal research design, ranging from the European institutions to the posted workers via the labor inspection offices. It has three main objectives: 1. Studying the genesis and the evolution of Community standards for the supervision of posted workers. 2. Comparing national policies and their regionalised implementation. 3. Analysing the way they are perceived by posted workers and their employers in different professional sectors, and their impact on everyday life. The project mobilises an interdisciplinary (economics, law, political science, sociology), interinstitutional (Rennes 2, UBO, UBS), interregional (Paris, Strasbourg) and international (Belgium, Poland) research group.
